Joseph Baena was born from the hidden union between Arnold Schwarzenegger and his former governess, Mildred Baena.
At the time, his wife, Maria Shriver (with whom he divorced in 2021, following this case, Editor's note) is pregnant with their fourth child.
Thus, Joseph Baena will not learn until much later of the existence and the worldwide notoriety of his biological father.
In an interview with
Men's Health
magazine in February 2022, he recalls the chaotic day when he learned who his father was, when he was only 13 years old: "I was called out of class to to
leave (
from school, Editor's note
).
And my mother is there, and she says: "We have to go, everyone finds out who you are and who your father is".
Build a bond
Now 24 years old, the young man has become closer to the actor.
In the “Unwaxed” podcast, hosted by Sophia and Sistine Stallone, Joseph Baena confided that it took them time to develop a bond.
“It took a while for us to really get close, for me to joke with him, talk about everything with him.
(...) I grew up with my mother and I was always nervous, I didn't want him to think badly of me, to say to himself like: "What the hell is this guy doing? He's always partying!"
Today is really great between us.
I'm so close to my dad and we joke about everything together."
